Seagull Steals Sandwich from Stunned Woman at Wildwood Crest Beach

In a scene straight out of a summer comedy, a beach-goer in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, found herself outwitted by a sneaky seagull on Saturday. Victoria Shannon Reed was casually enjoying her sandwich on the sandy shores when a brazen bird swooped in from behind, snatching her meal right out of her hand. Talk about a fly-by dining experience!

Reed, who had actually set up her camera anticipating some gull action, admitted she knew these feathered thieves were aggressive. 'I decided to film myself eating just to see what would happen,' she shared. What happened was a scream-inducing heist that left her stunned—and hungry—before she attempted a futile chase after the winged bandit.

Wildwood Crest, nestled in Cape May County, is famous for its serene beaches, stunning sunsets, and apparently, its sandwich-stealing wildlife. It’s a spot where the ocean’s lullaby and the gulls’ calls are part of the charm—unless, of course, they’re calling dibs on your lunch. This little coastal gem, less than an hour from Atlantic City, remains a top summer destination, but visitors might want to keep their snacks under lock and key.

This isn’t just a funny anecdote; it’s a reminder of nature’s audacity right in our picnic baskets. So, next time you’re at the beach, guard your grub—or risk becoming the next viral victim of a seagull’s seaside swipe.
